Genome-wide identification of FRK genes in Populus trichocarpa and their expression under different nitrogen treatments.

ABSTRACT: Fructokinase (FRK) is the main fructose phosphorylase and plays an important role in catalyzing the irreversible reaction of free fructose phosphorylation. In order to study the regulatory effect of different forms and concentrations of nitrogen on PtFRK genes in Populus trichocarpa, seven genes encoding the hypothetical FRK proteins were identified in Populus trichocarpa genome by bioinformatics method. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that PtFRK family genes can be divided into two subgroups: SI (PtFRK 1, 3, 4, 6) and SII (PtFRK 2, 5, 7). The tissue-specific expression data obtained from PopGenIE indicate that PtFRK2, 3, 4 and 5 are expressed highly in the stem. Quantitative real-time RT-PCR illustrate that PtFRK1-7 showed different expression patterns in different tissues under different concentrations and morphological nitrogen application. Under high nitrate treatment, the expression levels of PtFRK1, 2, 3 and 6 in stem increased significantly, while under low nitrate treatment, only the expression of PtFRK1, 4 in the upper stem and the expression of PtFRK3, 5 in the lower stem increased significantly. In contrast, ammonium tends to inhibit the expression of PtFRKs in lower stems, the expression levels of PtFRK2, 3, 4 and 5 are significantly reduced under ammonium treatment. However, high ammonium had significant effects on PtFRK6 in the apical bud and upper leaves, which were 6 and 8 times of the control, respectively. These results laid the foundation for the study of the PtFRK gene family of poplar and provided a theoretical basis for the molecular mechanism of nitrogen regulating cell wall development.

Project description:BackgroundHistone deacetylases (HDACs) are key enzymes catalyzing the removal of acetyl groups from histones. HDACs act in concert with histone acetyltransferases (HATs) to regulate histone acetylation status, which modifies chromatin structure, affecting gene transcription and thus regulating multiple biological processes such as plant growth and development. Over a decade, certain HDACs in herbaceous plants have been deeply studied. However, functions of HDACs in woody plants are not well understood.ResultsHistone deacetylase specific inhibitor trichostatin A (TSA) was used to investigate the role of HDACs in organogenesis of roots and root development in Populus trochocarpa. The adventitious roots were regenerated and grown on medium supplemented with 0, 1, and 2.5 μM TSA. TSA treatment delayed root regeneration and inhibited primary root growth. To examine the genes modified by TSA in the regenerated roots, tag-based digital gene expression (DGE) analysis was performed using Illumina HiSeqTM 2000. Approximately 4.5 million total clean tags were mapped per library. The distinct clean tags for the three libraries corresponding to 0, 1 and 2.5 μM TSA treatment were 166167, 143103 and 153507, from which 38.45%, 31.84% and 38.88% were mapped unambiguously to the unigene database, respectively. Most of the tags were expressed at similar levels, showing a < 5-fold difference after 1 μM and 2.5 μM TSA treatments and the maximum fold-change of the tag copy number was around 20. The expression levels of many genes in roots were significantly altered by TSA. A total of 36 genes were up-regulated and 1368 genes were down-regulated after 1 μM TSA treatment, while 166 genes were up-regulated and 397 genes were down-regulated after 2.5 μM TSA treatment. Gene ontology (GO) and pathway analyses indicated that the differentially expressed genes were related to many kinds of molecular functions and biological processes. The genes encoding key enzymes catalyzing gibberellin biosynthesis were significantly down-regulated in the roots exposed to 2.5 μM TSA and their expression changes were validated by using real-time PCR.ConclusionsHDACs were required for de novo organogenesis and normal growth of populus roots. DGE data provides the gene profiles in roots probably regulated by histone acetylation during root growth and development, which will lead to a better understanding of the mechanism controlling root development.

Project description:BackgroundThe jasmonate ZIM domain (JAZ) protein is a key repressor of the jasmonate signal transduction pathway, which plays an important role in plant growth and development and defense responses. In this study, based on the published whole-genome data, we identified members of the JAZ gene family in Populus trichocarpa. Through a series of bioinformatic approaches, their expression patterns under various stress conditions have been analyzed to explore and excavate the endogenous resistance genes of poplar and provide a theoretical basis for breeding new varieties of poplar resistance.ResultsA total of 13 PtJAZ genes have been identified in P. trichocarpa and designated as PtJAZ1-PtJAZ13. Those 13 PtJAZ genes were unevenly distributed on nine chromosomes, and they could be divided into four subfamilies. The gene structures and motif composition of the members derived from the same subfamily were similar. Collinearity analysis demonstrated that, compared with Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa, the most collinear pairs (13) were found in P. trichocarpa and Eucalyptus robusta. Cis-acting element analysis suggested that the promoter regions of PtJAZs contained a large number of hormones and stress response elements, of which abscisic acid (ABA) and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) hormone response elements were the most abundant. The PtJAZ genes not only had diverse expression patterns in different tissues, but they also responded to various abiotic and biotic stress conditions. The co-expression network and GO and KEGG analyses showed that JAZ genes were closely related to insect resistance.ConclusionsIn this study, applying bioinformatic methods, 13 PtJAZ gene family members from P. trichocarpa were identified and comprehensively analyzed. By further studying the function of the poplar JAZ gene family, the aim is to select genes with better insect resistance and stress resistance so as to lay a solid foundation for the subsequent breeding of new poplar varieties.
